Blizzard has released official details about BlizzCon 2017, which is set to take place on Nov. 3 and 4 at the Anaheim Convention Center. However, tickets will be sold months beforehand. Fans can purchase tickets once they go live next month before they are all sold out.
"BlizzCon will be here again before we know it, and we're looking forward to catching up with the community, taking in the awesome eSports action, and showing everyone what we've been working on," said Mike Morhaime, Blizzard CEO and cofounder.
According to GameSpot, the tickets will go on sale in two batches. The first batch will be available on April 5 10 p.m. ET while the second batch will be available on April 8 1 p.m. PT. Prices are at $200 sans fees. BlizzCon 2017 tickets will likely be sold out instantly. Fans who will not be able to snag one or two can look forward to virtual tickets instead.
Virtual tickets offer live streaming of BlizzCon, which is perfect for those who would rather stay at home or those who do not have a ticket but would like to watch the event. The pricing and availability of the virtual tickets have not been detailed yet. Last year, virtual ticket were priced at $39.99.
Before the BlizzCon 2017 kicks off, Blizzard will hold a Benefit Dinner on Nov. 2 to support the Children's Hospital of Orange County. Those who would like to attend the event can buy a ticket worth $750 on April 12 10 p.m. ET.
According to Blizzard, attendees would have the chance to talk about games and share drinks with developers and community representatives. Proceeds from the event will go directly to the hospital.
